演唱会延期让歌迷失望，Michael Jackson割胸切鼻抗癌。
准备复出开唱的Michael Jackson（MJ）上星期传出患皮肤癌，尽管他矢口否认，但昨主办单位宣布原本7月8日揭幕、举行50场的演唱会，将延期 5晚，其中4场受影响，要延至明年举行，英国《太阳报》爆料，指MJ因昨入院接受癌症手术，需要时间休养。
英国《太阳报》称，他周二去Beverly Hills的诊所接受检查，并于昨天开刀切除癌症细胞，胸部及鼻腔一些组织被切走，之后他将接受医生进一步检验，视乎是否需要进行化疗。由于化疗会导致体 力大减，故他未必能如期应付演唱会，以防万一，主办单位逼不得已将演期押后。不过，主办单位力证MJ健康良好，演唱会延期纯粹是技术性问题，也好让他有多 点时间彩排。
MJ的4场演出将押后至明年3月举行，大概有8000名已购票的观众受影响，有不少通宵排队希望看头场的歌迷更因此感到失望。
资深演技派的林梅娇，什么角色都能演，就除了需要她和年轻男艺人上演亲热的戏码，她光想到就想吐！就连如同黄俊雄这样的帅哥，都没有办法。
新传媒重头剧《双子星》日前召开了记者会，资深演技派女演员林梅娇就向新传媒中文节目与宣传企划部副总裁陈国明透露，她无法演出“老牛吃嫩草”的角色。
根据陈国明的说法，林梅娇虽然演技已达炉火纯青的境界，几乎任何角色都难不倒她，可是她心中仍有一个无法突破的障碍。
据陈国明向林梅娇了解，林梅娇的“死角”是任何需要和年轻男演员谈恋爱、有亲热镜头的角色。
林梅娇还说，她如果需要和一些资深男艺人（如：《双子星》里的丈夫陈澍城）“谈恋爱”，或者和一些由资深艺人扮演的“人渣”角色谈情说爱，基本上都难不倒她的。
可是，她并没有足够的心理建设去挑战“老牛吃嫩草”的角色。
陈国明还透露，当有人建议林梅娇接演一些需要爱上“俊男”（如：黄俊雄）的角色，林梅娇“怕得直抖”着说，她光想着需要和黄俊雄亲热，就会有作呕的感觉。
所幸的是，黄俊雄在《双子星》里，是饰演林梅娇的儿子。
章子怡康城公然剔牙丢巨星形象，被封另类“中国之光”！
章子怡以台湾导演李安执导的《卧虎藏龙》扬名国际，昨她出席《Inglorious Bastards》首映，手戴抢眼宝石钻戒的她，站在红地毯上竟当众以手指戳剔牙齿，似乎是在清除沾在牙齿上的口红或菜渣。她担任康城影展短片单元评审，也顺便为新作《非常完美》打片。
章子怡靠双手打天下，8年前就和成龙上演“你吐我接”的戏码一战成名，之后单手乔奶、绕背式抓痒以及掩笑秀钻，招式数不尽，前天在康城影展红地毯上抠牙镜头又成经典画面，击败许多好莱坞女星成为焦点，是另类“中国之光”！
- 怡凤苦笑：切子宫影响“私生活”
- 星期一出院就赶去为王建复站台
权 怡凤子宫长息肉，子宫肿胀30%，她赶拍完《抢滩大行动》上星期五悄悄入院动手术切除部分子宫，圈内同事与朋友当中，只有钟琴知道这件事。怡凤星期一出席 王建复专辑发布会时，被记者发现脸部苍白，双手颤抖，加上手背上有打点滴的痕迹，她才爆出自己其实刚刚动完手术从医院赶来。
无法再生育 怡凤有女儿就足够
怡凤说，她在上星期谢韵仪婚礼前因患上感冒去看医生，可是医生却建议她做详细身体检查，发现她子宫比一般人的肿胀了大概3倍，医生建议她把子宫切 除，不过却也要她考虑清楚，因为子宫切除后她将无法再怀孕。 “我跟他说，我已经有一个女儿，也够了，就决定把子宫给切掉咯。”怡凤也透露，因为自己平 时经期时会出现血崩现象，因此去除子宫也算一劳永逸。怡凤说，其实医院一般上不会在周末动刀，但因为她真的太忙没时间开刀，所以还额外付费在星期六早上7 时动手术。

有一個人，他生前善良而且熱心助人，
所以在他死後，昇上天堂，做了天使。
他當了天使後，仍時常到凡間幫助人，
希望能感受到幸福的味道。
有一天，他遇見一個農夫，農夫的樣子非常煩惱，
他向天使訴說︰「我家的水牛剛死了，
沒牠幫忙犁田，那我怎能下田工作呢？」
於是天使賜給他一隻健壯的水牛，農夫很高興，
天使在他身上感受到幸福的味道。
又有一天，他遇見一個男人，男人非常沮喪，
他向天使訴說︰「我的錢都被騙光了，沒有盤纏回鄉。」
於是天使送給他銀兩做路費，男人很高興，
天使在他身上感受到幸福的味道。
又一日，他遇見一個詩人，詩人年青、英俊、有才華
而且富有，妻子貌美又溫柔，但他卻過得不快樂。
天使問他︰「你不快樂嗎？我能幫你嗎？」
詩人對天使說︰「我什麼也有，只欠一樣東西，你能夠給我嗎？」
天使回答說︰「可以。你要什麼我也可以給你。」
詩人直直的望著天使︰「我想要的是幸福。」
這下子把天使難倒了，天使想了想，說︰「我明白了。」
然後把詩人所擁有的都拿走。
天使拿走詩人的才華，毀去他的容貌，
奪去他的財產，和他妻子的性命，
天使做完這些事後，便離去了。
一個月後，天使再回到詩人的身邊，
他那時餓得半死，衣衫襤褸地在躺在地上掙扎。
於是，天使把他的一切還給他，然後，又離去了。
半個月後，天使再去看看詩人。
這次，詩人摟著妻子，不住向天使道謝，
因為，他得到幸福了。
你曾覺得孤獨？你嚐過幸福的味道？
孤寂、璀璨本就是形容詞，所有的形容詞都是比較的。
沒嘗過孤寂，又怎知何謂璀璨的人生？
孤寂又豈非人生之必經？
人很奇怪，每每要到了失去後，才懂得珍惜。
其實，幸褔早就放就在你的面前。
肚子餓壞的時候，有一碗熱騰騰的拉麵放在你眼前，幸福。
累得半死的時候，撲上軟軟的床，也是幸福。
哭得要命的時候，旁邊溫柔的遞來一張紙巾，更是幸福。
幸福本沒有絕對的定義，平常一些小事也往往能撼動你的心靈，
幸福與否，只在乎你的心怎麼看待。
朋友，你的心，充滿了幸福嗎？還是，溢滿了哀愁？
愉快的心情，敲你的心門時，你就該大大的開放你的心門，
讓愉快與你同在。
~~與你分享~~
懂得保護 懂得珍惜
懂得把握 懂得即時
